Parasites
I'm tired of them
always feeding on me
Parasites they be ... sucking the life out of me, slowly
How did they worm their way into my life,
attaching themselves this close to my heart
This symbiotic relationship must end,
have to cast off these leech friends
I'm the blood host
of this carnivorous crew
They be living off of my body of work ...
my blood, sweat and tears
Can't say that I blame them for being what they are;
wanting to feed on someone, rather than have someone feed on them
Still, a parasite is a parasite,
and that's all a parasite will do
Living only to destroy you
Whether or not they purposely mean to
is irrelevant,
I'm still gonna die from the harm inflicted on me
So that is my moral dilemma:
remove those parasites from my body,
keep my mind from being infected
by a false sense of loyalty
Those friends who truly love me,
won't be trying to kill me,
just so they can have a life labor free
I need to learn more about parasitic psychology,
find the right toxins to make them not be so attracted to me
so easily
But, I don't wanna make a true old friend become my enemy,
these parasites are making me lose my objectivity
Guess my answer to them all is gonna be: bite me!
